Carrie took in a deep breath as she forced her eyes to remain open. A few more moments to go before she would bid adieu to this lifetime. A lifetime that swam across her blurry eyelids drooping heavy with death lingering over them with a stopwatch. Close family members and friends flocked around her in the hospital room where she lay with needles and pipes poked into her body. Her eyes searched for her sons and her husband. There they were, looking at her with a faraway look in their eyes, as though they were weary from the whole ordeal of her illness and wanted to get done with her.
Beautifully narrated! Loved the flow! I'm in awe! 🙂
Thank you Shalz 🙂
A sad tale to drive a strong point home: living life to the fullest is important while you can! <3
Yes Elly, we got to remind ourselves this fact each and every day.
Vinodini, you have given a much deeper meaning to the phrase 'live it up' through this story. Very nicely told!
Thanks Beloo. Glad it resonated with you.
You are a great storyteller, loved it.
Aww…Sulekha, you made my day 🙂
Loved this story Vinodini. It is so true that nothing lasts forever. It is important that we need to live our life the way we want instead of leaving it the way we are expected to live!
Like It Happened Yesterdy
Absolutely Swathi! Our life our choices.
Very true. As they say, we don't regret what we did, rather what we didn't. Life is meant to be lived. And tomorrow may never come.
Hopped over from Shilpa's blog. Glad to connect with you via the A to Z. Do visit my blog too sometime. Happy blogging! 🙂

Hey Chicky, thanks for hopping over! Yes, today is what we have and we should make the most of it. I'm going to hop over to your blog soon 🙂
Vinodini dear, this brought tears to my eyes… Beautifully written.. sad but also inspirational. Life is here and now – we should always dare to chase our dreams, and live as we want to. Love that quote also. Hugs
Thanks Eli. That's how life zooms by, doesn't it? Before its too late, let's make the most of it. Hugs <3
Vinodini – This is the best post I have read in days and it has such a great message for all of us. That last quote was awesome and this post is so inspirational. Kudos!
Aww…thanks Parul. I'm flattered now 🙂 We ought to remind ourselves often the message in here.
Such a fabulous story and an awesome message! It is true, to live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all!!
Thank you Shilpa. You've nailed it. Most of us only exist, very few of us live it up.
We all are actually becoming like Carrie at times … Hope we could be the other one.
True that Sheethal.
how beautifully you have described the difference and spread the message. Brilliant write.
Thanks Raj 🙂
